In the most mature view possible, the people agreeing and commenting that they are alike the OP are simply different. Every single person on the planet is different, and many fit into similar categories. Some of these categories are so far apart, that the people within them cannot even grasp the concept of what people belonging to other groups do. For instance, I will never understand how people value popularity or their amount of friends on a social networking site. I've always seen it as unintelligence; something for the mind to hold on to when there is nothing else inside of it. What I'm trying to say is that everyone has different values. Some being so extreme that they make absolutely no sense to others. There are millions of teenagers all around the world who spend hours playing video games or spending time on the internet. You are not different and weird.
I was going to write the next sentence as: "If you enjoy sitting in your house all day..." but realized that it is a term commonly used by these socialites you find yourself so far apart from. It is degrading and makes it seem like you're doing something wrong or odd. If you enjoy what you do, continue to do so. There's no reason for you to do anything other than what you enjoy, at your age.
What you need to understand is that other people's opinions do not matter. Everyone is human, everyone is generally equal to begin with. We all just live different life styles.
People in the thread are suggesting you to get out there and be more social... But is that actually what you're interested in? Or have you been affected to the point where you first felt like that's what you should be doing; and then to the point where you felt like that's what you [B]wanted [/B]to be doing. Do whatever the fuck you want. Do what you enjoy. Fuck everyone else.
There's much more to life.
I don't mean that as in there's much more to life, such as being social.
Things much, much beyond that.
Think about that.
[QUOTE=Callitenvy;22807954]I feel like I'm the only one not going to parties, hanging out with friends, or just plain having fun. I feel like I have no social life, I've never really had one but I didn't care until now for some reason. I don't know what to do. I'm tired of playing games all day, they all just don't interest me anymore. This is the first time I ever felt like this, other summers I didn't mind playing games all day. I have friends, but we're slowly drifting apart ever since summer started.[/QUOTE]
Gah! Get out of my head!
[QUOTE=Nova25;23240608]Fuck everyone else.

Just don't get anyone pregnant 0.O
This is how a lot of us feel.
I wish it was actually possible to suddenly grow a pair.
That would be absolutely insanely good, i'd give up a lot of stuff if that's what it would require.
Instead of talking on how miserable you feel and you depressed you are, you should do something about it.
You can find excuses on everything ("derr I don't go to parties because I don't drink/smoke/do drugs"), but it doesn't change anything.
You also don't need to drink/smoke/do drugs at a party. If people demand from you at parties to do any of those, then they are obviously not your friends. And if someone asks whether you want anything, you should not reply with "I don't smoke/drink/do drugs". It makes you look dumb in front of many people. Instead you could reply with "nah, I just had a cigarette/drink".
You will also not die if you take a few drinks once in a while. From my own opinion, I find that alcohol does make parties and certain situations better. You should just not get really drunk in a way where you can't walk normally.
Drugs is different though. You should always be careful on what drugs it is. Personally, I find marihuana no problem, probably because it's not dangerous at all, not addictive and actually legal here. But that might be different to you depending on the laws at your country and where you exactly are. Things should be ok if you're at someones house, but don't do it outside if it's illegal. And also look at what kind of drugs they take. But can almost always say no if someone offers you drugs. Not like "I don't do drugs" as I said before but make it something like "nah, I took a couple of drinks already, maybe I'll take it later"
Once people will notice you're more social than they thought you were, they will invite you more often, just make sure you never overdo anything.
Oh and most of this is out of experience
